Dodgers recalled LHP Edward Paredes from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers also sent struggling outfielder Joc Pederson to OKC, placed Yu Darvish (back) on the 10-day DL and activated Curtis Granderson, who was acquired late last night in a trade with the Mets. Paredes has contributed 2 1/3 scoreless innings in the big leagues this year. He'll function as a middle relief arm/left-handed specialist. Aug 19 - 4:18 PM

The move clears a spot for the newly-acquired Tony Watson on the active roster. Paredes made two scoreless appearances during his brief stint with the big club. He should be back in September. Aug 1 - 2:54 PM

Dodgers selected LHP Edward Paredes from the Reds in the Triple-A phase of the Rule 5 Draft.

Paredes posted a respectable 2.27 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 53/21 K/BB ratio in 43 2/3 innings this summer for the Double-A affiliate of the Angels. He'll function as organizational bullpen depth for the Dodgers.

Paredes put up a cool 3.32 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 73/22 K/BB ratio in 57 innings this summer for the York Revolution of the independent Atlantic League. The 29-year-old southpaw has never pitched in a major league game and is no more than organizational depth for the Halos.

He'll also get a spring training invite. Paredes didn't pitch professionally last season, but he's coming off a strong showing in the Dominican Winter League. The 26-year-old southpaw has a 4.66 ERA over six seasons in the minors and will serve as roster depth.

He was cleared in order to make room for Josh Bard on the 40-man roster. Paredes, 24, has an ugly 7.71 ERA and 25/20 K/BB ratio over 28 innings between Double-A Jackson and Triple-A Tacoma this season. The southpaw should pass through waivers with relative ease.

Turner hasn't played since Thursday due to a bruised right thumb. The Dodgers don't seem overly worried about the injury, but with the division locked up and homefield advantage a virtual certainty, they'll exercise caution with their star third baseman. Turner will take some batting practice indoors Monday to test out his thumb and said he hopes to play Tuesday. Logan Forsythe is at third base Monday and Austin Barnes is at second.

Franklin Gutierrez (back) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment soon.

The veteran outfielder has been on the disabled list since late June with ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory disease that can cause vertebrae in the spine to fuse. Gutierrez will likely spend more than a week playing in minor league games before the Dodgers consider activating him.

Ryu departed his start Saturday after being hit on the left forearm by a comebacker, but the swelling has gone down and he could be ready to start again this weekend. The left-hander will try to throw a bullpen session mid-week to see if he can take the ball over the weekend. If he's not ready, Brandon McCarthy could get a start.

Scott Kazmir (hip) threw three scoreless innings Monday in a minor league rehab game with High-A Rancho Cucamonga.

It was his first game action since July, as he's been dealing with continued issues with his left arm and hip. Kazmir walked two batters and struck out three while throwing 53 pitches. Monday was the regular season finale for Rancho and it's unclear what the next step might be. Kazmir hasn't thrown a pitch in the majors this season.

Nothing has changed in the left-hander's prognosis after undergoing Tommy John surgery this week, this was merely done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Dayton is expected to miss the entire 2018 season.

That will end the right-hander's season officially and also clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the return of Brandon McCarthy. Ravin should be healthy and ready to go for the start of spring training.

Adam Liberatore (forearm) began a rehab assignment with the Dodgers' Arizona League affiliate on Thursday, throwing a scoreless inning.

It's his first game action in nearly three months. Liberatore has been plagued by a few injuries this season, with the most recent one being left forearm tightness. He's hoping to contribute in September.
